It is often the case that we feel less than excited about our lives, especially when circumstances challenge us, yet it is equally true that life can be as exciting and fulfilling as we wish to make it. The key is to be prepared to follow your heart, your passion, your feelings, your inner guide. When you let go and let it lead you to places you want to go, what emerges is a new vigour, a fresh take on life that revitalises the whole of your being.
It is not that long since I started to use this method of guiding myself through life and so far the results have been spectacular, leading me 6,000 miles away from my “known world” of 50 years and all it entailed; career, friends, familiarity and the perception of comfort and safety. For some, such a prospect is daunting and indeed it has been extremely challenging at times, yet trusting more and more in this process, this methodology for guiding oneself through life will always ensure that I win through in the end in the courageous pursuit of happiness and self fulfilment.
For me it has meant that I find myself doing more and more things that please me, that literally fill my heart with joy and bring peace to my world. Change, it seems, is inevitable and we can either embrace it wholeheartedly and ride it for all it is worth or we can sit and silently quiver at the prospect, hiding away in some dark corner that some think is life but I now see as a slow, choking death. For all its challenges, I would sooner die now than revert to my former existence with all its vestiges of success and security the illusion of which so painfully and quickly fell away nearly 8 years ago, leaving only the shell my soul inhabits in this life and my very essence, naked, afraid, blind, yet sure of a distant light that now shines brightly for me and brings me joy virtually every day.
